Hi Folks,

In 22 years of messing about with Printers never seen this problem of mine
before.

I have an Epson Stylus colour 850 working on an Athlon 1800 with XP home,
and a Epson Stylus Photo working on a Intel P200 with Windows 98 SE.

Both printers working on Word, WordPad, and Notepad are printing in a
mirror type mode, unreadable but turn page over and look into light and you
can see it right way round. Or, look in mirror and you can read it.

Windows have given me some beautiful problems to sought out, but this, I
stand defeated. If anyone knows the fix for this and why it has happened on
two separate printers on two different OS's you r a genius and I will have
such relief knowing the answer.

Regards Paul

Look in the printer driver settings under the advanced tab to see if they
are set for "Flip Horizontal" or for printing on iron-on transparencies.
Perhaps someone is having a joke with you and changed the settings on both
systems.
